Default Radiator Fan doesn't work, blows fuses, sparks at the Radiator Fan RELAY?

My radiator fan doesn't work.
I hooked it up directly to the battery, it was fine.
The fuses keep blowing out.

I tried to jumper the Radiator Fan relay switch. When I did, there was a spark, and the paper clip started glowing red, and got quite warm. The fan did infact work, but I don't think it's supposed to have that much electricity running through it.

Any ideas?

Being I have no idea what year and engine the car is. Sorry, no idea where to start. Good luck.

PS- One of the reasons we ask everyone to put their car info in their signature line is for things like this....see mine, I have all of mine listed. I just have to remember to state which one I'm asking about.
